TAG GALLERY is excited to announce that our Co-President, ERIC RENARD, has a curated feature covering his series “The Backlight City” in Lens Magazine, which is a leading international Fine Art Photography magazine.
Established in 2014, Lens Magazine features exclusive interviews with influential photographers, in-depth articles on photography techniques, and monthly, theme-based showcases. Based in Israel, it is published by Art Market Magazine and focuses on fine art, documentary, and contemporary photography.
“The Backlight City” focuses on life in the city, including Budapest, Porto, New York, Casablanca and Chefchaouen. With these photographs, I shoot into the light source, whether direct or reflected, and people are transformed into mysterious shadowy figures, and objects break up into primitive shapes and lines. The silhouettes become abstractions, graphic forms with little or no details, yett we can still discern gender, age range and maybe even their purpose at that moment. The images include aspects of minimalism, street photography and architectural photography.
